I am sorry to hear this. When my daughter was 12 I stepped on her cat. I stepped on him so hard that I ended up having to take him to the emergency vet.
This is not your fault, these things happen. Give yourself a hug and a break.

I used to do cat rescue. It was rewarding but I occasionally lost a kitten to milk aspiration. I know it wasn't my fault but it was hard because I kept wondering what I could have done differently. That's the thing with tragic accidents. We wonder what we could have done differently. Why didn't I do blah? What if I had blah? Sure, you could have done something different but you had no reason to think that what you were doing needed altering.
Think about this...what if this had happened while you were drunk? Now, there's where "what could I have done differently?" has an answer. You don't know if being sober would have changed anything but it sure couldn't have hurt.
You didn't do anything wrong. You weren't neglectful. This was a tragic accident. I worked at a vet clinic and we had someone come in who'd backed over their cat. It's hard to accept it but accidents will happen in life. All we can do is accept, forgive and keep living in a way that should an accident happen, we know that a change in our behavior could not have prevented it.
You're in my heart. My pets are like my kids. I had one die from being hit by a car. Sometimes, I still wish that I'd gotten home earlier to let him in. Still, it was a tragic accident and I had to accept it, change what I could and move on. Wishing you peace tonight.
